Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in
the FR68 Series being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device
indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the FR68 Series does not go into suspend
mode. If the FR68 Series suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the
GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS signal, resulting in a delay of positional information.
GPS Maps on microSD Cards
GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the
GPS navigation software:
